Glad you're with us here on the Clark Howard Show where it's about you and that quality

yours.

I want you to learn ideas to me so you can save more and spend less and don't let anyone

ever rip you off.

Clark.com's our main website, ClarkDeals.com where you go to save the money.

Coming up later, I want to talk about ways to protect yourself from people running

around with your social security number.

What are the things you need to be on the lookout for now that because of Equifax two-thirds

of adults are vulnerable to various severe forms of identity theft.

My son when he was younger was obsessed with yard sales, garage sales, estate sales.

You didn't know the difference between a garage and yard sale and estate sale.

He just loved going to them.

Now I tell him that he used to love them and he says, no I didn't.

It's funny how kids erase history and don't remember things.

But anyway, it's an industry that is one that is still very much in the analog era.

When you think about estate sales when let's say a family house has to be sold because

an elderly relative has passed away or whatever the circumstance and you're trying to sell

the items in that house, your market is somewhat limited.

You have people who go to these sales every weekend and I've got this chest I found in

a estate sale that is in our bedroom that my wife always assumes and she's right 99%

of the time that I'm going to have the worst taste in the world.

I got her in the car and I said, honey you got to come see this.
